New Orleans Ratings Race

The Times-Picayune’s Dave Walker writes today about the recently-completed November ratings period. Here’s one paragraph of note:

WDSU, otherwise saddled with NBC’s mostly lame prime-time, can claim success for its new 4 p.m. newscast, growing ratings a bit in the time slot from a 3.5 average for “Judge Judy” in November 2008 to a 3.6 this November. (“Maury” got a 4.6 in that time slot in November 2000.) More important to the station, the news lead-in has improved numbers at 5 p.m. (5.5 from a 5.2 a year ago). That newscast in November 2000: 5.0.
